SUNY Canton Office Technology Interns

Gain On-The-Job Experience

 Area businesses provided on-the-job experience and, in some cases, employment for SUNY Canton Office Technology interns.

"Internships provide great work experience for our students," said Dr. Jonathan Gueverra, SUNY Canton School of Business and Public Service Dean. "North Country businesses have provided infinite professional development for the students. They have also granted an opportunity for interns to begin applying what they have learned in their classes."

SUNY Canton students who worked with North Country businesses include:

• Keily Day, an Office Technology: Administrative Assistant major from Lisbon, recently completed an internship with Betty Dawley at the Superintendent's Office at Madrid-Waddington Central School, Madrid. Day is a 2003 graduate of Madrid-Waddington Central School.
• Sarah Ellis, an Office Technology: Administrative Assistant major from Massena, recently completed an internship with Helen McLean, Director of Accommodative Services at Clarkson University, Potsdam. Ellis is a 2002 graduate of Massena Central School.

Internships play a key role in the professional development of the SUNY Canton Office Technology students, according to Gueverra. Potential future internships will soon be sought for SUNY Canton's newest Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Technology Management, which begins this fall.
